What “Uklaghyn, Balajygym” Means
Turkmen lullabies grow out of the country’s deep connection to its Karakum desert landscape and its legendary Akhal-Teke horses, one of the world’s oldest and most prized breeds. This original cradle song borrows both the quiet desert night and the distant, gentle sound of a horse to lull a child to sleep.
